How close this player is today, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">players at slot machines and not only at them! How many people like that <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">blind passion and craving for Success leads to destruction!<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why is this attitude to Success the goal of all efforts? <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dangerous? It carries the fear of failure, the fear of failure, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">mistakes, and bad luck. It leads to spasmodic tension, pinching, and overvoltage. See <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to stress, distress, and stress-related illnesses &#8211; to the so-called civilizational <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">diseases (e.g., heart and circulatory diseases). One feels <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">issued as a chance to foreign forces &#8211; e.g., by chance. Not only that. One when it happens <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">that .. fortunately &#8220;or ..wondering&#8221; all good falls into his lap, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">we then discover the emptiness in the soul. Feeling dissatisfied, bored, and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">nonsense. One then wonders if all this &#8211; the effort, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">efforts, etc. &#8211; Was worth it, whether it pays to live just for Success.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A man who longs for success &#8211; in any field, h<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">e overthinks about himself. He watches too much, and then: the more he wants <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to succeed, the more it fails. Example<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">: V. E. Frankl, in his logo therapy, clearly shows how a man. Who<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> overthinks during sexual intercourse to be successful\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">eventually fails. He identified this as one of the causes of impotence. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It turned out. That there too. where he ultimately succeeds is not a feeling of complete <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">satisfaction, but a feeling of &#8220;non-fulfillment.&#8221; I don&#8217;t have what it could <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">or should it be.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Success as a by-product. <\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> we have a meaningful activity ahead of us, it is possible\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to do with interest and enthusiasm for her. A. L\u00e4ngle writes about it: <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.. It makes sense when something is done for the value of what is going on. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Or for the person for whom set is doing. It doesn&#8217;t make sense there. Where <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">it is done only for your Success. If we don&#8217;t care so much <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">about it. Whether it. What we do will be successful; it brings healthy <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">relaxation. This can dissolve a lot of stress. That will add to the person&#8217;s <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">strength. So that he can focus entirely on the goal. Life can then be made more efficient <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to build. It&#8217;s fuller. One does not avoid work, but it is worth it <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to avoid unnecessary stress. &#8221; <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Success can be built as an experience of deep joy and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">true happiness. There and there it is. What makes us happy, secondary <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">product. When we go around it and take pleasure, satisfaction and s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">uccess as ..gift &#8220;, which is added to us, improves our lives.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Example: If climbers manage to reach the top or athletes <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">breaking a record &#8211; even your record &#8211; it is possible <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">understood as proof of the meaningfulness of the effort. However, if it happens to us <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">success goal, then failure we take as a disaster. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To think about: <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;Failure does not mean the absurdity of our actions.&#8221; <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">V.
